The Hanging Gardens of Babylon

• The Hanging Gardens of Babylon and the walls of
  Babylon (present-day Iraq) were considered one of
  the Seven Wonders of the World. They were both
  supposedly built by Nebuchadnezzar II around 600
  BC .
• According to accounts, the gardens were built to
  cheer up Nebuchadnezzar's homesick wife, Amyitis.
  Amyitis, daughter of the king of the Medes, was
  married to Nebuchadnezzar to create an alliance
  between the nations.
